The Practice OF Economy.

People of moderate means are
obliged to practice economy in obtain
ing the necessities of life, and those in
receipt of large income, even, natur-
ally wish to obtain the full worth of
their money. A proper quantity and
quality of reading matter, in these
days, is most assuredly to be classed
among the necessities; then how to OBJ
this cheaply is a desideratum. Tho

Colonel and Major.

Chase and Wiggin, both of them
famous Sufferers, belonged to the
militia IN the old days when everybody
in New Hampshire was in the militia
and the organization was mainly fic-
titious. Chase and Wiggin happened
to be ranking captains in one of these
paper regiments at time when the
Colonel of the regiment died and the
Major moved out of the State. In due
course of official red tape Wiggin re-
ceived his commission as Colonel of
the regiment and Chase as Major.
Both men were considerably "set up"
by their new titles, and naturally felt
like apprising the whole village of the
promotion; but they were dignifed
men, and of course didn't care to go
around telling everybody, so Chase
started out and went from one store to
another, poking his head just far
enough into each door to say:
"H-h-h-hev you seen C-c-c-c-colonel
J-i-j-jack Wiggin2"
Nobody had seen him, but everybody
caught the new title. And promptly
Niggin started in o similar pilgrimage
through the town. Thrusting his head
into the first grocery store he came to
he suffered out:
"H-h-h-a-a-a-ave you seen M-m-m-
major Jim Ch-ch-ch-ch-a-a-a-ase?"
OF course they had seen Major Jim
Chase, and so informed him, and by
the time he overlook the Major at the
end of the village and had congratu-
lated him warmly the appointment
had been, so to speak, officially
gazetted through the town Of Exeter
